A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?
Speaking of the most annoying things on Usenet: If the answer
is less than half as long as the substance quoted, there may be

If the post sent to the procmail list discusses the intricacies
of sendmail syntax with nothing about procmail in it, there may
be something very wrong with the poster's netiquette.
A ten-line .sig used to point out what's annoying on Usenet
is fodder for the killfile, even if the rest above would not
have sufficed.
